The other day I was coming home from the pool with my dad around 5 p.m. We drove by a crowded Italian restaurant and I couldn't help but wonder, what type of person eats dinner at 5 in the afternoon. Of course, if these diners knew my father and I wouldn't sit down to dinner until 9:30, they would be wondering the same thing about me.

You just started dating a great new guy and you're completely smitten by him. You've been spending a lot of time together and you're starting to learn about each other's quirks and insecurities. While your parents put a lot of emphasis on table manners growing up, his clearly did not.

Going to a restaurant with the tots in tow can leave parents feeling fretful. Nobody wants to be that mom with the screaming child running around the eatery. Crayons, snacks, books, and toys can be distraction tools, but they aren't a sure bet.

You have to admit, the whole Dracula thing really killed it for them. All bats do is hide in caves, sleep during the day, party at night, and suck some blood every now and then. Big deal.

No, I’m not referring to buying each other meals, I mean literally taking a bite of food and placing it in the other person's mouth. This could just be a symptom of young couples in love, but every time I go out lately, I see a couple in the midst of feeding each other and I have to look away. There's something about it that makes me uncomfortable; perhaps because it often seems more intimate PDA than making out.

Once this Siberian Husky figures out how to push down the dog bone lever and get some goodies out of this gum ball machine, he keeps at it full-force. Never mind the other dog patiently waiting and salivating in front of him — she'll just have to wait her turn. After this serving.

Izzy, the albino squirrel, has a factory line of peanuts to nibble through and he's up to the task. Watch him pounce on each nut, shake it to hear the goodies inside then crack away at the outer shell like a pro. This is like a Top Chef quickfire challenge — only nuttier.
